Network Settings Webpage Fields

Operating Mode

Used to select Access Point (Infrastructure), Client 
(Infrastructure), IBSS (Ad-Hoc), or MONITOR mode.By 
default this is set to Client.

Device Mode

Used to select Bridge or Router mode. By default this 
is set to Bridge.

FTP Enabled

This enables access to volatile memory storage on the 
RM-240.By default this is disabled.

MAC Address

This is the unique hardware address of the RM-240, 
assigned in the Factory. For the majority of systems, 
this item should not be changed. If the device is to be 
connected to equipment that will only communicate 
with a set MAC Address, the RM-240 may clone that 
MAC address. 

Gateway IP Address

This is only required if the wired LAN has a Gateway 
unit which connects to devices beyond the LAN – for 
example, Internet access. If there is no Gateway on 
the LAN, set to the same address as the Access Point 
– that is, the “Ethernet IP Address” below. 

Ethernet IP Address

The IP address of the RM-240 on its wired Ethernet 
port. This should be set to the IP address you require.

Ethernet IP Subnet Mask

The IP network mask of the RM-240 on its Ethernet 
port. This should be set to the IP address you require.

Wireless IP Address

The IP address of the RM-240 on the wireless port. 
If the unit is configured as a bridge this address will 
be the same as the Ethernet IP address. If configured 
as a router, the IP address must be different from the 
Ethernet IP Address – it must be consistent with the 
LAN it is connecting to on the wired side.

Wireless IP Subnet Mask

The network mask of the RM-240 on the radio port. 
If configured as a Bridge, this must be the same as the 
Ethernet IP Subnet Mask.

System Address (SSID)

A RM-240 network comprises modules with the same 
”system address”. Only modules with the same system 
address will communicate with each other. The system 
address is a text string 1 to 31 characters in length. 
Select a text string which identifies for your system. 

Radio  Encryption 

Select “None”, “WEP  (64-bit)”, “WEP  (128-bit)”, “WPA 
PSK (TKIP)”, or “WPA PSK (AES)” security encryption 
of the wireless data. The default setting is “None”.
